Eleri Ward has risen to critical acclaim due to her indie-folk musical theater covers, but all the while she's been making pop music of her own. Having released her first EP, Prism, in May of 2020, and her second EP, Friction, earlier this year, there are no signs of Eleri letting up on her original music. Inspired by Caroline Polachek, Sufjan Stevens, Lianne La Havas, and Andrew Bird, Ward doesn't sound like any one of those influences, but rather has a way of combining genres and styles texturally beneath her unique, wide-range vocals. Rooted in storytelling and colored with catchy melodies and clever lyrics, many have described Eleri Ward as a love-child between Sara Bareilles, Maggie Rogers, and Dua Lipa. You can stream Eleri Ward's music on all platforms. @eleriward www.eleriward.com

Pop/R&B singer/songwriter Samantha Joy Pearlman is "like a well-kept secret being revealed".  Brand new onto the scene, she discovered her love of songwriting in the chaos of her “Saturn Returning,” writing songs to process the emotional turmoil of maturation and inevitable change. She released her debut EP Atonement this summer, with 2 of her singles featured on the BMI #MusicMonday Playlist. Her second EP Flight will be released later this year.  www.samanthajoypearlman.com
